I get my new 150 Prado soon and I want to put the Speedy wheels 17" liquid black Grandes on it. After the tyre place told me they'd fit I found out that they will have an offset 5mm less than standard/recommended. Will this cause any issues for the vehicle (e.g. alignments, tyre wear)?

Decrease in recommended track - will this be an issue?

If you are going to do that watch the fronts. The 120 GX steelies I have shod with 275/65s that used to be on my trailer rub on the front.
To be honest -10mm on track should be no big deal but I wouldn't do it. +20 yes please.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

Another member here runs the Black Grande rims on his 150 without issue. He had a GX so different starting point for track in his case, but suspension and wheel alignment wise tree should be no difference between the models.

Sorry mj, I'm having trouble getting my head around your last post. Are your front tyres rubbing? And are they 120 steelies on a 150?
And finally, I don't get the "+20 yes please". Sorry mate.
Andrew, I assume the Grande is legal for the GX??? They have a narrower track than the GXL don't they?

Re the +20, MJ would be referring to increasing the track by 20mm, which is legal and widens the stance of the vehicle which should increase stability.

I run 275/65s on standard 150 GXL rims. When I had the 120 I had Phoenix alloys so I fitted the 7.5" wide GX steelies with 275/65s on the trailer so I could have extra spares. When I put the 275s on the 150 GXL rims they are really close to the front strut. As the 120 GX rims were just for emergencies I test fitted them at home. The extra offset plus the wider tyre meant they touch at the front. Not everywhere just in a few places during suspension movement. So I was going to use them on the back only in an emergency. Now I am getting rid of them altogether.
As the Andrews have said 120 rims on a 150 GX is much more reduction in track. The rules allow an increase in track of +25mm (+50mm without ESC) so I would happily do that to increase track and stability. Sorry if it was confusing. QCOP doesn't allow any reduction in track thus my comment the vehicle would be unroadworthy.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
